P and C places

[sashh]

I'm now thinking about packing some sandwiches and a flask and spending the day watching the P and C places to see all the antics old people get up to.

Maybe a doll? You could sellotape a lit fag to its mouth for maximum outrage.

Fag in one "hand", Gregg's sausage roll in the other- I'm on it.

Do I also need a badly parked massive car and a huge pram as well?
And a dog with a fruit shoot in its mouth?
And a homemade blue badge?

You need a HUGE pram. And you could also slurp out of a bottle of Jack Daniels and hurl some cat poo around.

don't for get your massive sense of entitlement and bag of chips

Land Rover, 2 dogs and 94 year old dad in the back. I'm off to annoy the good folk in a supermarket car park somewhere in Kent. I also plan to have radio 3 on really loud and wind my window down so dad can blow smoke (camels) out of it. P and C space, here I come.

Also check if p&c users claim benefits. They can't have a p&c spot as well, they're not that entitled. Even if they're only parking the goat there.

has parked the Scout minibus - 17-foot Ford Transit - in a Tesco's P&C space before.

Very handy.

Bus contained many C at the time.

Just got back, NO offenders AT ALL!

We do have a huge number of disabled parking spaces though, which I have never seen all being used at once.

Nil point.

There was old cold person sat in drivers seat of his car on double yellow lines outside the Doctors today. Blue Badge displayed but he was reading the paper. Don't know is that is ok or not? I assume his wife was in the Doctors?

Old, cold, yellow lines, blue badge and reading the paper? I'd report him to authorities this minute. 5 points.

If I had clocked what paper it was and it was the DM I would have got more points.

Are they allowed newspapers?

I don't know the rules on newspapers. Tricky one.

Ok so this is what I saw at asda car park-

Grandparents parked in the p&c space- is that allowed?
I know they were grandparents cos dc called her grandpa as she got out of the car!
Technically speaking not parents of the child in the car IYSWIM

I was going to write a complaint......then I remembered i have a life

Also single man sitting in p&c space alone playing on his iPhone, though poss. Wife and DCs actually in asda

Do I get any points??

They are NOT allowed newspapers. I am going to email my local MP.

If OLD people can see well enough to read then they can feck off out of the P&C spaces!

Most old people these days have mobility scooters so don't really need to park in the blue badge spaces. In fact, there should be a rule against parking disabled when you use a scooter. They could have a separate area at the fringes of the car park and just scoot in, that way they wouldn't be at risk of being mowed down by the rest of us.

Grandparents can't be allowed it's Parent and Child Spaces so that's completely illegal.

But at my local Garden Centre they have spaces and the sign says 'Car parking for customers with small children'. Make of that what you will.

If you let them get away with a newspaper they'll bring a flask and sandwiches next time. This behaviour needs to be nipped in the bud.

'Car parking for customers with partners who behave like small children'

Parking for everyone then!

Yeah they can all FUCK OFF.

Im going to start DNA tests on all them kids. Im sure they just hire child actors to get a space.

Can I just ask, how old is old?

Apply the 'taupe test'

Is your coat taupe?
Are your shoes sensible, T bar and taupe?
Are you wearing american tan tights?
Under the taupe coat are you wearing a tartan pleated (not a kilt) skirt?
Do you wear a headscarf tied under the chin?
Do you have a perm?

If you fulfill all of the above you are 'old'

Here (New Zealand) it is mostly labelled 'parking with prams'. So even old, cold grandparents can use them as long as they have a pram to strap the child in. We are very egalitarian.

Do they even need a child though more? Sounds like just the pram would do.

I don't like the idea of newzealand - old people would just bring prams, and they will be the old silvercross, coachbuilt prams. Almost as big as a 4 X 4.

Extra points for newspapers / books, mega extra points for e-book readers

I have got lots of places to go today. i will be extra vigilant, and possibly take my notebook.
